Almost Christmas

My bone spur has pretty much stopped hurting. I don’t know if it healed itself or what, but I think it’s ok.

I have been trying to keep up with the leaves in the yard. I guess some trees have the leaves fall at different times. Some of my trees are almost bare, and some look like it’s summer. I guess I’ll just keep mulching until they’re all gone.

I put up the remainder of my Christmas lights on Saturday. I think I have the best display on the street. After all, that was my goal. I still need to put up another strand before I’m done.

The kitchen is coming along. Right now I’m in the process of painting all the trim in there. After that, we’re painting the walls a light gray. Pretty soon I hope to get the cabinets remodeled. I’ve been meaning to make an appt but haven’t really had a chance at work.

Overflow was good. Over 50 people I’m told were in attendance for the first one. I played the National Anthem. I did ok, I could have done better if my fingers didn’t get so cold out there.

Friday is the parade. I think it might be cold, but hopefully it won’t be raining or snowing. We can’t get the equipment messed up. We had got first for 2 years I think, and we got 2nd last year. I’m hoping we get first again this year.

Bone Spur

So my left heel has been kind of sore for the last week or so. Some days were worse than others, and I couldn’t find much of a pattern to it. I finally broke down and went to the doctor yesterday. Turns out that I have a bone spur. There was something else weird on my heel they were going to look at, but it kind of sucks. It doesn’t hurt that bad, it’s really more annoying than anything.

On a totally unrelated side note, I’m starting to get a lot of leaves in the yard. I have to break down and get a leaf blower pretty soon.

Get Together

Tonight is somewhat of a get-together at the crib. Some people are coming over and we’re going to play some poker. After that we’re probably going to go to Applebees. I haven’t played poker in awhile. Since Vegas I think.

The kitchen’s about maybe 1/3 of the way done. The wallpapers about half off. After the wallpaper’s off then it’s just painting, and that’s relatively quick.

Halloween was last night. It was my first Halloween actually giving out candy. I guess I had my hopes too high. I had about 5 groups of kids come by. I didn’t expect too many to come, but more than that. I guess it’s the way my house is setup. It’s not really in a neighborhood, so that’s probably why.
